La Maison Mathieu-Froment-Savoie mainly serves the Outaouais region, with a focus on the city of Gatineau and its various sectors (Hull, Aylmer, Gatineau, Masson-Angers, Buckingham), offering its palliative care and companionship services to people at the end of life and their loved ones in this region.
Who can benefit from our services?
Our services are designed for people who :
- have been diagnosed with an incurable, life-limiting illness;
- no longer receive curative treatments;
- benefit from an integrated palliative approach;
- reside in the Outaouais administrative region.
We also provide support for the caregivers of these people, who also need to be listened to and given a break.
